for -- to use for these benefits. is there any chance, is there any chance that this will be seen by the democratic side as in fact, a more accurate measurement, rather than simply a way to cut benefits? >> it is a good question. on the one hand you had nancy pelosi going on msnbc saying she probably could muster up support for that in her caucus. certainly because the medicare eligibility age component is not there, it could make it through the caucus possibly. on the other hand you have people legitimately know that this is a benefit cut. and in 2012, promising to put social security to the side and promising never to touch benefits in these negotiations. and now they're going to have to explain to their constituency to who they made these promises, i'm doing this because of a broader deal. so it creates a very different political reality. >> sam stein and ezra klein, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> coming up, the truth about guns in america. and the lies of the national rifle association. that is

what kind of gun are they going to use? armor piercing bullets if someone is wearing a bulletproof vest? i don't know how far this goes. i think the nra talks about a slippery slope. this is a slippery slope. at the end of the day, a lot of things have to be on the table. we do have to talk about meaningful access to mental health. we have to talk about some of the inherent violence that happens in our popular culture. hollywood is part of that. video games is a part of that, a child playing video games in a basement for three hours, you have got a problem. and then the last thing is, you know, i think -- i believe in the second amendment, i was a gun owner up until recently myself, but military style weapons on the street as a member of the marine corps, i got to tell you, they don't belong in civilian hands. if you can't get it done in six shots, you need firearms training. multiple clips, 30 a piece, simply just shouldn't be in civilian hands. >> goldie taylor, thank you so much. i appreciate all of you joining me today.
